Retailers Seek More Affordable Job Recruitment

Fayetteville, AR - With the retail industry growing rapidly from year to year, many retailers have begun using online job recruitment services to help fill corporate and store-based positions. The information technology era has provided many new ways for retail employers to recruit via the internet. The most popular job recruitment websites include Monster.com and Hcareers.com



These type of job recruitment websites offer retail employers the chance to advertise jobs on a nationwide level, as opposed to the limited ability of local advertising. Most retailers advertise jobs on their own company websites, in addition to job recruitment websites. By using online job recruitment services, retail employers have access to thousands of resumes to search for qualified candidates. These types of websites greatly increase the scope and visibility of employers current open positions.

While these websites seem like a much more productive way for retailers to find qualified job candidates, they have also become exceedingly expensive. Websites like Monster.com and Hcareers.com are charging retailers anywhere from $200 - $350 per job posting, in addition to initial account setup fees and add-on services. Most retail employers are extremely satisfied with the ability to reach a large online market but are often discouraged by high priced posting fees.

There have been several websites which have taken a new approach to the dramatic problem of overpriced retailing recruitment. RetailHeroes.com is a prime example of this type of website. Colin Fagras, Director of Marketing for RetailHeroes.com said, ìWe have found a new solution to help retailers with their job recruitment services by running a smaller company and offering much more affordable pricing. We target smaller markets and provide more targeted and qualified candidates for our employers.î RetailHeroes.com offers the same variety of services and professionalism as the larger recruitment websites, but they offer job postings at substantially reduced prices and they tend to have much closer relationships with retailers. ìWe keep very close relationships with our employers. We feel by offering more affordable pricing and solid customer service, retailers will stop using overpriced corporate websites and continue recruiting with our company,î Mr. Fagras stated.

With the increasing cost of online job recruitment and the ever growing number of retailers nationwide, employers will be forced to either fork out the expensive fees of advertising with larger websites or begin to advertise with smaller, yet more affordable and more targeted websites such as RetailHeroes.com.
